2.5. GENERAL DESCRIPTION:

The Rocket Digital low vacuum/low flow Suction unit (Known as the PSU, and referred to as the PSU for the purposes

of this instruction manual) has been developed to provide low volume/low pressure suction via the Rocket Medical

R54500, R54509 and R54517 Chest drain units.

The system provides regulated negative pressure via the R54500, R54509 or R54517 (1800ml volume) chest drain

bottles and R54502 or R54539 (12mm x 1500mm) connector tubing. Before and during use inspect the chest drainage

bottle and connector tubing to ensure no damage has occurred. The R54500, R54509 and R54517 chest drainage

bottles and R54502 or R54539 connector tubing are single use only.

The range of suction is variable from -0.5 Kpa / -3.7mmHg/-5cmH2O to -5 Kpa / -37.5mmHg/-50 cmH2O*.

*cmH2O is not a SI unit according to EU Directive 80/181/EEC.

Treatment information is displayed graphically on the LCD screen in real time and when treatment has concluded, this

information can be downloaded to a PC, using Rocket Medical software.

Suction is applied to the chest drain unit, not directly to the pleural space. This is due to the underwater seal within the

chest drainage unit. Adjustment may be required to levels of suction

The PSU requires a disposable filter to be fitted to the chest drainage bottle and the suction unit before use. If no filter

is fitted then the suction unit will not operate.

The filter is supplied separately, sterile and for single use.

The order code for the filter is R54571.

The device is portable and can be operated independently of the mains supply. This is due to the rechargeable battery

and thus this also allows patients to have suction applied to their chest drain unit even whilst they are mobile.

2.6. INTENDED USE

To act as a device for the aspiration and removal of surgical fluids, tissue, gases, bodily fluids or infectious materials.

PSU is indicated for drainage from the pleural and mediastinal cavity; which may include: post-operative management

following cardiac surgery, pneumothorax, pleural effusion, empyema and other related conditions.

This device should only be used by, or under the supervision of, appropriately trained personnel and in conjunction

with current local clinical practice guidelines

To only be used with a R54571 single use filter and R54500, R54509, R54517 chest drain units and tubing set

(R54502, R54539).

2.7. CONTRAINDICATIONS:

Not intended for use where a suction (vacuum) value of over 5 Kpa or a flow of over 5L/min is required.

Not intended for use where the application of suction/vacuum to the pleural space is contraindicated or would place

the patient at risk.

WARNING: Ensure the suction level is appropriate. Patients may experience discomfort when higher levels of suction are applied.
